Ooh, KM7CIV aeronautical mobile, off Santa Barbara Island! He did not hear me, but the Heathkit receiving fine! #hamradio #heathkit
Interesting, it's an IC that generates the tone... Resistors are 100K pots. Wonder if the resistance in this path is off.. I guess only a few things to check (3 pots, 27K 1/2W resistor, 3300 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor should be the only ones. .05uF cap shouldn't influence things that much. #hamradio #heathkit
And, transmit... #heathkit #hamradio
Receive. Couldn't find anyone on simplx to give me any audio. #heathkit #hamradio
The fix was easy! Apparently the microphone on these is powered by a 9V battery. Annoying, but easy fix. #hamradio #heathkit
Took it apart, thought I'd have to recap it, but someone already did that in the last 10 years. Transmit was not working, but.... #hamradio #Heathkit
Built in 1977. #hamradio #heathkit
It's alive, alive!! #hamradio #heathkit
